Ebay Blocks 15,000 Sellers From Listing

In ebay's latest "purge" earlier this week, some 15,000 (mostly small) sellers were targeted. The publicity nightmare this opens up for ebay can only be "guesstimated" as each of these axed sellers (many of whom WERE also ebay buyers) tell their family, friends and neighbors of the bad treatment they received from ebay.

I am John Q Public average buyer, let's say. Why on earth would i come to ebay to buy cheap junk from the Chinese? Why on earth would I buy stuff from Toys R Us off ebay when i can buy direct from Toys R Us at one of their local stores or directly from them online? Why would I but DVDs, CDs, or books when i can find them faster, easier and as cheap and as fast on the River? If as a buyer I wanted to buy from WallyWorld, I'd go to WallyWorld or their website, not ebay. I think it is the ultimate delusion to believe that ebay could ever become a primary retail DESTINATION site. Especially with the tide of public opinion regarding ebay more and more as a joke or an evil corporation. Ebay has lost touch with the primary reason people came there as buyers to begin with: to find rare or unusual items. not run of the mill dollar store stuff you can buy anywhere.
